The travellers explore the surface of the Moon. They begin to lark about in the lower gravity, but Jamie over stretches himself and knocks himself out. As the others go to save him they discover his unconscious body being carried away into a [[Moonbase (The Moonbase)|Moonbase]]. They follow and the door opens, welcoming them. | The travellers explore the surface of the Moon.

Inside the Moonbase a staff of workers are operating a series of consoles. One of the workers collapses, leaving marks on his face. Hobson, the controller, sends the man to sick bay to join the others who have come down with this [[virus]] — who include the base's doctor. Ben, Polly and the Doctor are led in. Hobson allows Polly to look after [[Jamie]] in the sick bay but keeps the Doctor and Ben with him. Hobson explains that the Moonbase is a weather control station that keeps [[Earth]]'s [[weather]] in check. They are using a [[gravity]] machine called the [[gravitron]] to control the weather. As this is being explained, another worker falls ill. The Doctor offers his services. The Moonbase contacts [[Space Control]] to inform them; Space Control reacts by quarantining the Moonbase. One of the crew informs Hobson that their latest communication with Space Control was listened in on by someone close to the base. | Inside the Moonbase a staff of workers are operating a series of consoles.

Down in the sick bay Polly is looking after Jamie, who is hallucinating about the [[Phantom Piper]], his clan's variant of the [[Grim Reaper]]. The Doctor sends Ben back up to the control room as he needs someone to be keeping an eye on the goings on up there. He does so and is allocated to work with Ralph in the storeroom. Once he gets there, he discovers that someone has been stealing food. He is sent to do a job and while he is away Ralph is attacked by a metal hand. By the time Ben returns Ralph's body is gone. | Down in the sick bay Polly is looking after Jamie, who is hallucinating about the [[Phantom Piper]], his clan's variant of the [[Grim Reaper]].

Back in the sick bay, Polly discovers the Doctor investigating some [[silver]] [[paper]]. They are interrupted by Dr Evans, the base's previous doctor, who wakes up and screams something about the silver hand before collapsing dead. The Doctor wonders what he might have meant and goes to report the death to Hobson. | Back in the sick bay, Polly discovers the Doctor investigating some [[silver]] [[paper]].

Ben is reporting the disappearance of Ralph to Hobson when the Doctor comes to explain about Dr Evans' death. Hobson refuses to report it to Space Control just yet as they will close his operation today. He goes down with the Doctor to observe Evans' body. | Ben is reporting the disappearance of Ralph to Hobson when the Doctor comes to explain about Dr Evans' death.

In the sick bay, Polly is helping Jamie to drink some [[water]]. He wakes up to see a figure behind Polly. She turns and sees it disappear through the door. She screams, alerting the Doctor and others. On exploration there is found to be nothing there. Hobson puts this down to Polly's nerves. Hobson goes over to Dr Evans' bed and finds the body gone. He asks the Doctor if he is playing a sick joke, but the Doctor assures he isn't. Hobson is informed of another crew member going down with the virus and leaves, telling the Doctor that he will be kicked out if he can't find Evans' body. The Doctor goes to explore whilst Polly leaves to fetch Jamie some water. He awakes to see a Cyberman approaching him — convinced that it is the phantom piper, he collapses. | In the sick bay, Polly is helping Jamie to drink some [[water]].
